If any of these items are missing or damaged, please contact your dealer
from whom you purchased the board at once. Save the shipping
materials and carton in the event that you want to ship or store the board
in the future. After you unpack the board, inspect it to assure an intact
shipment. Do not apply power to the board if it appears to have been
damaged.
Leave the board in its original packing until you are ready to install
Precautions
Please make sure you properly ground yourself before handling the AW-P631 board or
other system components. Electrostatic discharge can be easily damage the
AW-P631 board.
Do not remove the anti-static packing until you are ready to install the AW-P631
board.
Ground yourself before removing any system component from it protective anti-static
packaging. To ground yourself, grasp the expansion slot covers or other unpainted
parts of the computer chassis.
Handle the AW-P631 board by its edges and avoid touching its component.
